Lyrics

I saw the waters rising

I saw some people go

I tried to fight the currents

But I can't control the way the rivers flow

So why not let it go?

The weatherman keeps talking

I see the sun, but I miss the snow

Feel like a dead man walking

'Cause when I'm in the snow, I miss the coast

When will I let it go?

I'll always find

A hundred reasons to be mad

A thousand reasons to be sad

All the chances that I've missed

I could spend my day out in the dark

And let the sadness break my heart

See the world for what it is

But I don't wanna live like this

Today I'll be an optimist

Still believe in open windows

Each day is a brand-new start

Sometimes the truth is simple

Good things don't always fall apart

And dreaming big, it ain't that hard

I'll always find

A hundred reasons to be mad

A thousand reasons to be sad

All the chances that I've missed

I could spend my days out in the dark

And let the sadness break my heart

See the world for what it is

But I don't wanna live like this

Today I'll be an optimist

But I don't wanna live like this

Today I'll be an optimist
